Glenda Green is
an internationally recognized portrait painter and art historian. In
1989, her husband had a dream that Glenda was to paint a portrait of
Jesus Christ. The possibility intrigued her, but it took nearly two
years before she decided to undertake such a painting. After months
of study, research, and contemplation, she felt frustrated as to how
to proceed. She prayed in her studio for guidance.
Glenda describes what happened next: "At that moment, a presence
entered the room unlike any I've ever experienced ... Although He was
transparent, there was a radiant glow, and He displaced the air so conspicuously
that I could see currents of pressure-waves rippling about eight feet
in front of me. Was it the Holy Spirit ... or perhaps a special angel?
... later experiences and insights were to reveal that it was the Master
Himself, in pure spiritual form.

"The Presence
called my name, though in no human words I know, and then shot a beam
of energy from Himself to a point between my eyes. I presume He implanted
something into my optic nerve, for a radiant picture projected before
my eyes. It was an exact visual prototype of the painting to be done....
"From that moment forward, my life has not been the same, not even
in the smallest way ... After that, the events of every day unfolded
perfectly as they should, and each hour of work was a living dialogue
with the Master."
